Schaumburg, IL (December 5, 2011)

— Le Cordon Bleu (LCB) College of Culinary Arts is proud to announce that StateUniversity.com, a leading website for college and university information, has ranked its Las Vegas campus number five and the Scottsdale campus number 10 on its list of top-ranked universities in their respective states.

“It’s rewarding to see the firm commitment to our students recognized” said Anthony Williams, campus president of Le Cordon Bleu in Las Vegas. “It is our privilege to give students from all walks of life access to a solid education and an opportunity to embrace their creative passion, while working alongside our dedicated chef instructors.”

StateUniversity.com considers many different factors when determining the rank of a particular school, including a school's ACT/SAT scores, its student retention, faculty salary and student to faculty ratio. Unlike many of the other survey websites, StateUniversity.com does not consider peer reviews—making the survey unbiased and purely based on statistics.

“Our philosophy of pursuing excellence is one that remains strong,” said Lloyd Kirsch, campus president of Le Cordon Bleu in Scottsdale. “Our chef instructors are dedicated to helping our students develop a wide range of skills and knowledge to ensure they are prepared as they enter the workforce.”

LCB has two campuses in the Scottsdale area, including two student-run restaurants. LCB in Las Vegas, located in an area of booming culinary and hospitality industries, provides students with a variety of unique experiences. Students who attend any of the 16 Le Cordon Bleu schools receive a comprehensive education rooted in the foundational skills and classic techniques of the culinary arts.
